@TonyHarrison I have to admit I can't really see Nintendo putting out something with Game Gear level battery life. They don't need to rush to get the 3DS to market (judging by the sales figures of the DSi) so I would be surprised if the battery turned out to be a turd. Reply0

You gotta wonder why Activision have gone through the hassle of getting Prototype certified for sale on the store if they're going to charge that amount. For whatever reason they must not want this to sell.

Expecting a discreet price cut in 3,2,1...............oh wait this is Activision it's probably on special offer at this price. Reply+8

Have to agree with Eraserhead, my PlayTV box cost me £20 not so long ago and after trying out some of the crappy Freeview PVR's (that aren't as cheap as you would imagine) it looks like a pretty decent bargain.

There are some downsides to it (lack of series link being the obvious one) but the EPG is far above anything you get outside of a Sky/Virgin subscription. Plus I'm not aware of any other Freeview recorders that allow you to copy over USB and watch on a PC if you want.
